2023 AFAD Grand Marshal announced

At a Mountain Home Chamber of Commerce Luncheon on Monday August 21, Kelley Creamer was announced as the 2023 AFAD Grand Marshal.

Creamer is a past Air Force Lieutenant Colonel who has volunteered at AFAD since 1997 when he peeked his head into a washroom looking to help wash pots and pans.

27 years later, Creamer has been named this year’s Grand Marshal. His self-made goal is to, “make the dishes a little cleaner every year”.

He loves to give back to the Mountain Home community and volunteers in other capacities as well. He guarantees that he will keep on washing dishes until he is unable to stand at the sink.
